You need to demand verification of the debt, examine the accounting of the debt, and prepare and file your answer to the complaint, containing all of your defenses. Federal law also protects you from false or abusive medical debt collections under the FDCPA. By ignoring it, you risk a default... View More

If you don’t appear, a default judgment will be entered against you, regardless of the merits of the case.
